Great Man.
New York Correspondence Cleveland Leader
One has a most excellent opportunity 10
study ''man" as represented by the average
New Workers. Among the wealthy classes, very
MANY OF them have the waxy skin, dropslcal
flesh and ''pufed eyes" that are indicative OF
serious kidney affection. "Brights disease Is
plainly written on their faces. Since General
f,ogan's death the subject of rheumatism Is
being discussed by the medical profession
Every intelligent person. with any knowleuge
OF the human system, is well aware that II inc
kidneys are in good condition all unnecessary
material is regularly carried on by them. II not,
various acids such as uric acid one OF the chlei
causes of rheumatism, are left in excess, Great
ing deposits that cause all sorts of chronic or
ganic diseases. 1t would seem, therefore, tnat
rheumatism, like dropsy, is not disease, put
the result OF disease, and il is safe to say that
If the stomach and kidneys are Kept In healtn
full condition, there will be no deaths from
rheumatism. .
General Logan was well aware that his dis
ease was OF the kidneyc, and once expressed,
himself in indignant terms at the folly OF
doctors treating him for rheumatism, When "
was the kidneys that caused his attacks
The high living and the excuses in all things
prevalent among wealthy men in large cit es,
especially In New York, is the chief cause Tor
Bright's disease, and the aristocratic trouble
known as rheumatism, even as insufncient ana
improper food bring about the same results
among the very poor.
The above article, which we reproduce
because of its general interest, is very sig
nificant. The public believes that rh una
tism is an effect of diseased blood, this dis
case being caused by uric acid or kidney
poison. Enough of this is developer NY
TO kill several men, and if it is not removed
by the kidneys as fast as formed, 1t grad
ually ruins the health.
This fact is a scientific demonstration.
II doctors do not admit it, it is probably
because they do not wish to attract atteR-
ton TO the menace deranged kidneys offers
to the general health, since they have no
authorized specific for these organs.
General Logan knew what his real trouble
was, and he recognized the nonsense OF
treating the effects-the real seat of the
disease was the kidneys. Senator Sittig,
of Illinois, whose vote elected Logan Sen
ator after four months of balloting, tells
&c that Logan often complained to him OF
S.-eat distress in his kidneys. Disease OF
/ the Kidneys always produces rheumatism,
and besides that, it causes paralysis, apo
plexy, impotency, stomach and blood dis
orders, brain troubles, female complaints
and countless other diseases which would
almost never develop if the blood was kept
free of uric acid or kidney poison.
These facts the public recognizes even
though medical gentlemen, for very evil
dentreasons, will not publicly acknowledge
them lest, perchance, some proprietary
medicine, like Warmers safe cure, now ad
mitted to be the only scientific specific, will
get the benefit
. Fie on such bigotryl 1t has been author
itatively stated time and again that there
can be no real sound health if there is any
false action of the kidneys. Insurance
companies refuse millions of risks on this
ground alone, hence it is that there is such
universal popularity given to the .grear
preparation named-a popularity that il
based upon intrinsic merit.
Too much dependence upon professional
advice, especially in matters over which
medical men admit they have no power
too often results very dlsastrously, but O.
what use to the victim is experience gained
by fatal disastera
How much better it is to be guided by al
unprejudiced public opinion in such mat
| tiers.
Had Logan been so guided, he nigh
have been spared many years.
